I agree that they are not likely to operate as a non-profit, but I presume they could if they really wanted to.
Note also the reference to B Corporation status ( https://bcorporation.net/)

It is an outright sale of an asset, the proceeds of which go toward "an endowment fund" for ISOC projects/activities. No revenue sharing is involved.
The announcement indicated that all projects and operations will continue as is under new ownership. With its policy on public/community benefit presumably driven and overseen by Ethos Capital's Stewardship Council - I wonder who they will put on this Council.
PIR under Ethos Capital will lose its non-for-profit status, so there might be financial implication not to ISOC but possibly PIR's existing .org customers/registrants.
We shall see.

As Eduardo said there are lots of unknowns at present. Who knows?

Why will it have major implications on ISOC Chapters?

I know for sure that this was not even hinted at during the last PIR Advisory Council meeting.. but it will have major implications for the ISOC chapters. What are they/ISOC thinking?

Had we known this was lurking in the background -- which it most certainly was at the time -- it might have been a different discussion. How much did ISOC know and when did they know it -- a question ISOC chapters might want to ask.

I must say, this casts the decision to drop price caps for .org in a slightly different light. I will keep you posted as I learn more.
